If you want to solve for x you have to get x alone on one side of the equals sign. In order to do that you have to get rid of the stuff on the same side by doing the opposite operation so that it cancels. What you do on one side you do on. the other side to keep the equation true.
y= abx
a and b are being multiplied by x so divide by ab to cancel them out (ab/ab is 1).
y= abx/ab (ab cancels)
now divide the other side by ab to keep the equation true.
y/ab= x
Answer:
48 yr. old
Step-by-step explanation:
Assume daughter is 4 and mom is 10 times her age, so mom is 40.
10 (woman) * 4 (daughter's age) = 40 yr. old mom
Present day...
40 (yr old mom) + 8 (yrs later) = 48 yr. old mom today
4 (yr old daughter) + 8 (yrs later) = 12 yr. old daughter today
So, if mom is 4 times as her daughter's age today...
48 (yr. old mom) / 12 (yr. old daughter) = 4
